Just to further make me ill. Today on NPR, they were talking about the riots in terms of it was the privilege classes fault for the rioting as if these people were justified for what was happening.

They then turned to the United States and almost acted giddy about the possibility that the underclasses here would rise up against the privilege class and assert their "rights".

Maybe that is what is happening now in Wisconsin and Philadelphia. People asserting their "rights"

They interviewed a police chief in the London area. He said he wouldn't order the water cannon on the rioters, because if someone was injured, that decision would be unfavorably reviewed afterwards.

Just because the rioting is dieing down, I don't believe the rioters have learned anything negative from their experiences. I suspect they have enjoyed and profited from it. So I suspect we will see more of it in the future.

According to reports the people are burning the shops and businesses for fun. They don't even bother looting.

The American pass time of baseball is becoming very popular recently in England.

Wow the photos look like the blitz in world war II.

Way at the bottom there is this building way out in the country that is burning. It is the Sony distribution facility for England.

I guess robbing little shops in the city is chicken feed next to that.

Don't view this one, its racist propaganda and should have never been printed.

The rioting is spreading all over parts of London. It started in just Tottenham, where police got in a shoot out and one person was killed and the family protested.

Now they are listing all sorts of little suburbs of London where the rioting is happening. Hackney, Lewisham, Peckham, Croydon, Clapham Junction and Birmingham.

Seems profit now is the motivation.

The small shop owners have no means to stop it. People are complaining that there are no police anywhere. I would suspect the unarmed police are reluctant to go into uncontrolled areas without overwhelming force.

London will be welcoming the Olympics next year, one person remarked they were glad it wasn't this year.

As the economies of the world continue to decline, should we expect to see more and more of this?

The anti gun police got in a shoot out with a car they stopped. The person stopped was killed by the special armed police unit. In the gunfight, one officer was shot in the radio.

One of the BG family said "he was into things, but he wasn't violent".

The family organized a anti anti gun police protest to demand justice for their son. It has turned violent with many people injured (including amateur videographers filming the riot) and lots of looting. People were seen bringing shopping carts to the riot.

Since guns are outlawed in England the rioters were left with just gasoline bombs, picks, knives and axes to riot with. In the last riots in this part of London, the chief of police was stabbed to death.

Its so much safer for everyone in a country where guns are outlawed and the police don't even have them.
